Every year sometime the first part of Nov., our GROUP has been getting together for a fun time. This year we did it again. Gina is always such a great host. Chris decided to reward her with this Marguerita glass. Now she can say, "I just had one!"
She also cooks for us. I don't mean ordinary cooking, but extraordinary cooking. Here she is fixing a delicious salad. With this she served some delicious pork loin, yummy cheesy potatoes, and for dessert, her famous tarimasu (sp.) The next day she fixed us "heavy appetizers." Mmmmmm. Goooood!!!! She does this even though she's the one still teaching.
She also served us their signature "Lebations" wine. She and her husband make their own wine, and their last name is Lebeda so they named their wine "Lebations." We had a blackberry wine, a black cherry wine, and a pomegranate wine. They we all very delicious. Maybe they'll go into the wine business.
One thing we traditionally attend is the bazaar at the Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls. We do our shopping, and then we eat their traditional Norwegian food. It's always a treat!!! Here is the gym area where they set up the tables for eating. The stain glass windows are beautiful. The food was delicious.
Here we are with the Christmas tree in the background. They do incorporate the Christmas theme which makes it even more festive. We were missing one of our members, Pat, who is just too swamped with life to join us this year. She was there in spirit though, I'm sure. Missed you, Pat.
This year we also attended a bazaar at a nearby Catholic church/school. Polly was happy to find some things to buy for gift exchange for her family.
From there we went to the local antique and flea market at the fairgrounds which they have the first and third Sat. of the month. I didn't take any pictures.
Our last stop was a Goodwill stop, which is always one of our favorite places to stop. It's always interesting to see what they have.
